Hush children

Madeline

I know I don't look like the kind of girl that would go silent but I have. I have been silent since Benny went silent. Benny and I were best friends then we both just stopped talking. It's not like I have very many reasons to go silent but the main reason is that I have no friend what so ever. I lost my one and only best friend. Ever since then I have not talked to anyone. He was the only one I could trust. Then him and I got into a fight and that was the day we both went silent. I know that almost all of them cut but I don't.  Like I said I am not like the others. I am a really smart person. I just have no friends. I tried to make friends but I haven't been able to. I have had so much trouble ever since elementary school. Kids just don't like me I guess. I don't know how people cant like me. I am nice, sweet, kind, I listen to every ones problems, I take everyone's needs before my own, caring, and I'm just well rounded. I love or loved helping people. I have always noticed this one kid. He is in all of my classes. His name is drew. I have no idea what he problem is but he keeps staring at me.  He has been writing stuff down too. I want to ask him what he is writing but I don't really want to end my silent streak. I have been reading but sometimes I find myself drawing. I ended up drawling a character that I have been reading about in my book. sometimes I think that the character is real. I sometimes find myself sighing to the air. Oh by the way if you didn't know I am deaf. Benny is the only one that knows that. That is at least if he remembers. People, now that I think about it... I think people don't want to be my friend because I am deaf. I have been deaf since I was born. I didn't know what was going on when I was little. As I got older I found out that I was different than everyone else. I can talk a little bit. I just sound like I am losing my voice. That is another reason why I don't talk. before I would sign and talk. But now of course I don't talk what so ever.  Enough about me.  I should let you guys meet the others in the group. I don't know exactly who you guys have met yet. I bet you haven't met Drew yet. I cant wait for you guys to meet him. I wonder if he will tell you guys why he is doing what he is doing. Man all of these people are all so different. Okay I should let you guys go so you can met everyone else. I hope to talk to you guys soon.
